Senior Social Media Manager
Marketing & Communications · Full-time
Abu Dhabi - United Arab Emirates
About Us
About the Role
What You'll Own
Strategy & Narrative
- Define and execute Bybit's global social media strategy across X (Twitter), Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, YouTube, and emerging platforms
- Translate complex crypto and fintech concepts into compelling, platform-native content that resonates with traders, retail users, and the broader Web3 community
- Build and maintain Bybit's social voice — bold, credible, and culturally relevant — in alignment with Brand 6.0 guidelines
- Develop channel/product-specific strategies that balance global consistency with regional relevance
Team Leadership & Operations
- Lead, mentor, and grow a global social media team (currently ~4–6 members) plus manage relationships with production and influencer agencies and other departments
- Establish clear workflows, content brief processes, and approval protocols to eliminate last-minute requests and ensure quality at scale
- Build and own the content calendar, ensuring alignment with campaigns, product launches, market moments, and executive communications
- Implement SOPs for content creation, agency briefing, influencer collaboration, and crisis response
Campaign & Content Execution
- Partner with the Creative team on campaign assets, ensuring briefs are detailed, timely, and actionable
- Oversee influencer strategy — from shortlisting and legal clearance to performance tracking
- Manage the production agency relationship for high-quality video content the internal team cannot produce at speed
Data, OKRs & Reporting
- Own social media OKRs: follower growth, organic engagement, share of voice, sentiment, and new user acquisition via social
- Use Sprinklr and native platform analytics to run weekly performance reviews and quarterly post-mortems
- Present social performance to leadership in biweekly reviews; flag risks and opportunities proactively
- Leverage AI tools for trend harvesting, content optimization, and competitive analysis
Cross-Functional Collaboration
- Work closely with BU marketing teams (WBU, GBU, PBU) to support product-specific social moments without duplicating effort
- Align with the Strategy Office on global go-to-market strategy and upper-funnel performance
- Coordinate with Legal and Compliance on influencer clearances, regulatory messaging, and market-specific restrictions
What We're Looking For
Must-Have
- 4–8 years of social media experience, with at least 3 years in a leadership role managing a team
- Marketing background — you think in campaigns, narratives, and audience journeys, not just posts
- Proven track record of growing social accounts at scale for a global brand (1M+ followers preferred)
- Strong project management skills — you can run multiple workstreams, manage agencies, and hit deadlines without chaos
- Experience with Sprinklr or equivalent enterprise social media management platforms
- AI-native mindset — you actively use AI tools in your workflow for content, research, and analysis
- Exceptional written and spoken English; additional languages (Arabic, Mandarin, Spanish, Portuguese) are a strong plus
Nice-to-Have
- Experience managing influencer programs end-to-end, including legal and compliance workflows
- Background working with executive communications — writing for or managing the social presence of C-suite spokespeople
- Experience with rebranding or brand evolution at a global company
- Familiarity with OAP/project management systems and cross-functional campaign coordination
- Deep knowledge of crypto, Web3, or fintech — you can write about DeFi, trading products, and market events without needing a translator (optional)
What Makes This Role Unique
- You'll be shaping the social voice of a top-3 global crypto exchange during a pivotal rebranding moment
- Direct access to and collaboration with the executive leadership
- A team that is genuinely invested in getting better — we're building SOPs, improving briefs, and upgrading our tooling (new OAP system launching mid-August)
- Real budget, real agencies, real campaigns — this is not a one-person show
- A culture that values ownership, speed, and creative courage
What We Don't Want
- Someone who needs to be told what to post
- Someone who can't write a content brief or manage an agency
- Someone who treats social as a support function rather than a growth engine
- Someone who can't handle ambiguity or a fast-moving environment
